I met Don Kent maybe 4 years ago at the Lane Tavern museum, which is the HQ of the Sanbornton Historical Society. I meet a fair number of celebs, but I think I gushed a bit when I put 2 and 2 together. (He introduced himself merely as Don. But those eyebrows are...well, lets just say if you looked up 'inimitable' in the dictionary, I wouldn't be surprised to see a pic of them!).
Why the out-of-character celeb. moment for me? I grew up loving maps. My favorite book in elementary school was the atlas. It all stemmed from watching his weather reports in the 1970s. Good memories, them there are.
Anyhow, he was fully sighted then.
